Likely just jump on the moped ! Hehe

Yes I do. It has some very beautiful features. I'm not sure how I'll build it yet, just discovered it's spaced 130mm which opens many possibilities. It has cable stops under the down tube, so barcons or sti could be used. @ibbz it's this one, 350 miles round trip

@PhillB and @ibbz you two need to meet up!!!

I know you're at opposite sides of London which means you might as well live in different countries...

So close yet so far!

I moved away from London a good few years ago - now in Mistley near Manningtree

That's a fair old ride to Charing Cross

Phew! I was on the verge of saying something offensive about south London !
But half a mile odd from the river north could only mean….. Richmond ? Twikenham ? Kew? Or sonewhwre really pleasant like The isle of Dogs

I lived on the Isle of dogs for about six weeks early 90s, that was enough.

Close!! I live in Hampton, which is in the Borough of Richmond - I can generally be found in my shed or riding something around the park or along the river
